Anybody who reads this column regularly knows I love finding cool little eating places with a distinct personality and a high quality of food. If you really want to get a feel for a place, find the local breakfast joint.
Even if it's not breakfast time.
Grab a meal and sit for an hour watching and listening to the people around you. This tells you more about a place and its people than just about anything else. And also fills you up for the next stage of your journey.
This is one of my favorites. Eating at the Dragonfly in Taos, New Mexico, is like eating a pleasant meal in your friend's dining room. If your friend happens to be an excellent cook, that is. Or on their patio if you prefer to eat outdoors.
The Dragonfly Cafe, Taos, NM.

We have been there on a cross country trip...but it looks different...is it the same management?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure. This shot was taken in 2014. The front patio has been a part of it for as long as I've known...
